My Take: Time: The Uber CX Differentiator?
Gary Lemke, Chief Customer Advocate   (March 1, 2012)
 
Share







The opening question in today's WSJ article, The Wait-Time Misery Index sums it all up:
 
"Would you wait around if your friend was four hours late for dinner? No, but your cable company thinks this is a reasonable window of time to wait for service."
 
I first introduced this idea using my St. Valentine's Day experience as a backdrop (also see Engineering Service Failure).
 
Time. It may be the number one factor on how customers feel. Consider the end-to-end time (wall clock) as well as wait times.
 
If your competitor's CX time is less than your CX time, how much loyalty equity do you have to expend to keep customers in the fold?
 
  What's your take?

Kick Off A Successful VoC Program - Listen To Your Own Voice!
Many agree that listening to the voice of the customer is becoming more critical, but sometimes it's not clear where to begin when launching a broader corporate initiative. Organizations that have successfully implemented a Voice of the Customer (VoC) program often started by looking to the Voice of the Employee (VoE) first. This move makes perfect sense, as it's difficult to achieve an excellent customer experience if your employees are unhappy. Let’s take this concept a step further. Before tapping into employee or customer feedback, you may want to jump-start your program by listening to your own internal voice. How often do we survey ourselves about our life and career path, evaluate our own personal “voice” to ensure that all is in check from an individual standpoint? Starting out a new year is a perfect time for a self check-up. After all, you are your most important customer!   . . . read more >>
